Women's Services for Alcohol and Other Drugs
Mission
Alcohol and Other Drugs advocates for families affected by addiction through direct services for women. We have developed programs specifically for women who are pregnant and mothers with young children. Through its network of county and community-based service providers, AODS delivers gender-responsive, trauma-focused and family-oriented care to the women of Contra Costa County.
All services comply with California State Standards for Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention Services, federal and local laws, including CFR-42 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which protect the confidentiality of our clients. Additionally, Women Services adhere to the Perinatal Services Network Guidelines (PSNG).
Who is Eligible for Alcohol and Other Drug Women's Services?
We serve low-income women and mothers who are pregnant or parenting who have insurance, are Medi-Cal eligible or who currently have no insurance coverage. Treatment services are based on a sliding fee scale. However, no one is denied services based on inability to pay.
What Services are Available for Pregnant and Parenting Women?
Perinatal services: Residential, detox and outpatient treatment programs throughout Contra Costa County for pregnant women and women with dependent children, including women who are attempting to regain custody of their children, as well as parents participating in CalWORKs Welfare to Work.
